Last Saturday Huggy and Kim, the Korea couple, invited us and Icecube’s roomates to their home for a swimming picnic. They also invited three American couples from their church.

One of the guys named Bob is a lawyer. When we entered Huggy’s house, which we called mini white house, Kim introduced me to Bob and his wife, saying “she is the girl who wants to go to law school.”

Bob was kind and talked with me about his practice. He worked in a medium-sized law firm, doing litigation and defense for big companies. I kind of thought Huggy and Kim had intentionally invited Bob. Huggy and Kim are so nice that they just made me think so. Unfortunately, I was a little bit dumb and did not know what to ask him. I thought I was supposed to have a lot of questions since I didn’t have much chance to meet a lawyer.

Bob’s wife is a funny loud woman. She kept saying “yes” “I agree” while YY and Icecube commented, in Chinese, on the Ping Pong game where WW was playing against Bobb.

“China vs. America. A real game.” YY said.
“Oh, yeah.” Bob’s wife kept nodding her head.

“If YY loses to this big-belly American, he should dig a hole in the ground immediately.”
“Right.”

“Bob is not a bad player.”
“Oh, yeah. I cannot agree more.”

…….

At last, YY turned to Huggy asking if Bob’s wife understood Chinese. “Because each of her responses sounds just logical to what I said.”

Of course, Huggy reassured us that there was no way she knew Chinese.
